Fans of the Bard's Tale series received some great news this week as the Kickstarter to fund Bards Tale IV officially reached it's final goal of $1.25 million and will push forward with development.
The Bard's Tale IV will feature labyrinths and dungeons chock-full of dangerous traps, puzzles, and challenges, as well as the winding streets of the city of Skara Brae and its outlying environments. Exploration will take place in the first-person dungeon crawler style of the original trilogy. With full rights to everything from the original games, the story of The Bard's Tale IV will center on a new Skara Brae built upon the ruins of the old, returning familiar gameplay concepts such as No-Magic Zones and Magic Mouths.
There was some concern that the title wasn't going to hit its final funding goal, but those concerns are in the past now as the title is ready to go to development and production.
